You guys got me wanting a lee push through setup. But I can't find one in stock at a reasonable price. I hate 2020......
Ill play around with this a little more this weekend. I think I'm close....

I'm more concerned with how far up its sizing.
Forum: Cast Boolits
These are going to be subsonic 300blk. I figured PC would be better for that.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yes, sizing with lubesizer.
I'm trying to size before PC.

Mold is NOE 311-242. I don't get it. Is it possible my mold is too hot? I have the mold sitting on a hot plate set to medium. Lead is straight wheel weight set to 700 degrees. Bullet is dropping...

I'm not even sure which Lyman pot I have. All the markings are gone. Id say its 15 - 20 years old (bought it used).
The Lyman has a screw at the top too but it didn't seem to do much except...

So it was a pour issue. I didn't realize how stopped up it was.
But now I have a new problem. The spout is dripping....... a lot!
I just drained the pot. Ill take another look at it this...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I believe the problem is heat or pour rate. How hot should I have the mold?
Forum: Cast Boolits
The pour out of my Lyman pot looks good. But ill take a look at it this weekend to see if the spout needs cleaned.
This is also the first time I've cast rifle bullets. I've always cast pistol in...

I sure hope it doesn't mess up the silencer. I dropped $1,500 on it! :shock:
Ive been talking to a guy on another forum that uses the same mold with no problems with his silencer. He also...
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I haven't cast in about 6 years. I got a silencer and figured I would try casting subsonic 300 blackout.
The mold I got is the NOE mold 311-247. The mold has been cleaned 3 times now with...

About how many pounds in a 5 gallon bucket?
Thanks!

Its getting to the point that I think I'm going to get out of the casting hobby. Between work, school and my home based ffl, I just don't have time any more. I have to make time to reload just so I...

I think all I have to clean the bore is butches bore shine. You think run a cylinder, bore shine then oil the barrel, then repeat the process?
Since all I have available is the jacketed bullets,...

FINALLY! after 2 years, one of my distributors got in a 4" Ruger Redhawk. Since im a dealer, I wasnt going to pay retail somewhere else. Im too cheap for that.
Its replacing my 4" S&W 629. Out...

How much do you think i should use of unique? I have that and trail boss and H110.
I can defiantly tell there was a constriction around the threads. I can see a small flat start to develop in...

With firelapping, you just want the bullet to exit the barrel, nothing more. Or at least thats what the instructions said.

EDK, do you have a link to that article?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I tried packing a cotton ball down in there, but that didnt seem to help. I would think cramming the bullet all the way down in the brass would create a dangerous pressure levels.

Yeah, i know it needs to be upped a little. I dont want to go too high because im shooting it in my garage, and i live in the city. My little 3 yr old girl already came running up stairs and told...
